No it isn't, but your solution is. Among what I consider proper solutions would be term limits, no personal income tax and a judiciary this is under some sort of control. Legislation from the bench is not a republican form of government.
As suspected, we agree on all counts. This isn’t my solution to anything, it is my belief and opinion. It is not in being, but I would be most happy to go back in time and utilize the list of those allowed to vote in the time of the founders. A list I’m quite sure you would label elitist, and I take extreme issue with the label, not you.
PS, agree except for term limits.
